Law Schools can be stifling, stultifying and discouraging at times. People look down upon the ‘other’; sometimes very disparagingly. A mooter thinks mooting is ‘the’ thing. The cool guy thinks that ‘mooting’ is for nerds etc etc.
I believe we should respect choices. Here is a simple piece on that belief.
The many DREAMS In A Law School: Nothing BIG Or SMALL About It
In law school many people live,
People of many colours.
Colourful dreams they do have,
Dreams of many flavours.
Look! There is the GPA chap!
His wish is to be the class’s cream.
Don’t look down upon him. Clap.
Because he does have a dream.
There is the big mooter, supreme:
Vienna, Jessup and places alike,
In his dreams do they chime.
You’ll go places, I know....
But I hope, you won’t chide,
These places he wants to go.
This is the sportsman, all pumped
With all skills his body does,
Look at the sweat and the pumping blood...
Berating him ‘an unserious student’ would be lame
Because he too is a student of the game.
There is the portly rotund guy:
He eats, drinks and gets high
And plays video games all night.
Ah! He is happy in his eye....
Then why do you have this in your mind
That he is a loser in his life?
We all have dreams, dreams big,
Have your dream; a thing to achieve.
Never think that your dream is bigger...
Bigger than, others conceive.
Because dreams like love, like ethics
Cannot be ever relative;
They can only be; dreams,
Keeping the man up from his deathly sleep;
Nothing big or small about it.

Every class had a different mark...
Trademark...he noted it religiously in a copy.
“Every religion is just the same
A bundle of thoughts, a different name...”

Another good article.. Keep going..
Special mention to the last paragraph which added the extra bit of poetic sense into the whole 'article'.
The poem fits rightly into the law school scramble..i also observed the poetic excellence of the last paragraph..
Great write!!! Keep rocking!!!
You really hit the nail on the head (ref. to all those superiority complex prejudiced mooters/toppers/sportsmen/boozers who think the other 3 categories are losers )
Thank you for the praise.
Law school scramble...ah! nice phrase. (didn't intend to rhyme...anyways, looks a bit stupid if i did intend to)
very right ExtrudedTrigon...now even i can see the masterwork of the last paragraph..it is quite a poetic gem!
like the LLP, you also have a keen eye...i guess you could be the next legalpoet!!!
Its great that you guys are reading the poems so carefully and engagingly...:)
